Sharing the field together marked a special milestone for the father-son duo, creating a memorable moment for the team and the Harrison family.
While it was not officially Joel’s first senior match, he made a strong impression by sub fielding for 16 overs in A-grade when a player had to make an early exit.
Stepping straight into A-grade for his first experience at senior level is testament to Joel’s hard work and ability.
Congratulations to Pete and Joel on a fantastic moment for the Harrison family on what will surely be the first of many games played together.
